The WCB is responsible for administering workplace safety legislation on Prince Edward Island. This legislation is the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act.

The OHS Act and its Regulations describe the minimum standard of occupational health and safety on PEI and the general safety principles for Island workplaces.

To help you understand how PEI's safety legislation applies to your workplace, the WCB has a number of resources:

• Guide to the Occupational Health and Safety Act
• Farm Safety Code of Practice
• Guide to Fall Protection Regulations
• Guide to the Prevention of Workplace Violence
• Guide to Working Alone Regulations
• Health & Safety Posting Requirements for PEI Workplaces
